The superb CIAK notebook. Orange leather with acid free archival quality cream plain paper. 15x21cm (A5). Patented horizontal elastic band secures any pen tightly against your notebook. CIAK journals and notebooks are made in Italy.
Italian Bonded Leather
Made from smooth soft Italian bonded leather, the CIAK's cover is firm yet flexible, which makes it an excellent alternative to a hardback cover. The use of bonded leather also makes CIAK notebooks very durable - ideal for everyday use.
Archival Quality, Acid Free Paper
There are 140 pages of permanently bound, plain cream paper that is perfect for sketching, fountain pen ink and ballpoints. The paper is archival quality and acid free and takes ink with no feathering or showthrough.
A Unique Leather Notebook
But that's where the conventional notebook ends.
Handmade in Florence, Italy, the CIAK notebook is a leather journal with a difference. CIAK features a patent protected horizontal elastic band, one major advantage of which is that a pen can be securely fastened to the notebook without fear of loss or damage. We've tried this with a variety of pens of different sizes ranging from a Pilot G2 to a Mont Blanc and the CIAK secured each one perfectly.
This is something that is simply impossible with any other notebook, due to their conventional vertical elastic bands. A quick look at the various Moleskine hacks on the Internet demonstrates the usefulness and value of having a pen attached to the notebook in this way.
The CIAK Range
The CIAK range is comprehensive and provides for user choice in virtually all elements of the notebook:
Sizes: 9x13cm, 12x17cm, 15x21cm (A5)
Colours: Black, red, blue, burnt orange, yellow.
Paper types: Ruled cream paper, plain cream paper, squared cream paper, plain white paper, multicolour ruled paper, address book, daily and weekly diary.
As well as the classic range of notebooks, the CIAK range also includes the CIAK Golf notebook, CIAK Travel notebook, CIAK Pocket slim notebook and CIAK Design themed notebook, which are all also available from The Journal Shop.

Customer Reviews
Lovely, quality product Bought as a gift for a 'mature' student, I (and he) were delighted with this journal. It looks lovely & feels beautiful. I feel that it looks far more expensive than it actually is. Will definitely purchase more for gifts (and, buying 3 for 2 option I get to keep one too!) Mary Willans - Wakefield
Such a beautiful journal to use Firstly notice the glowing dusky orange colour and then feel the cover: it is both firm and soft and cries out for you to open it & write inside. The paper is wonderful: I like the freedom of blank sheets and the softness of the cream as opposed to white paper, suitable for all pens and inks Moira - Derby
Beautiful colour and lovely quality. This journal is a beautiful deep burnt orange - i don't normally go for orange but decided to have a change and was really pleased. The quality of the journal is lovely - the cream paper is expensive looking and the unlined journal allows you to write, draw or doodle! Emma - Haslemere, Surrey
TOO GOOD? I tend to use Cavallini and Papuro products and have done for some time. I dont quite know what made me lean towards CIAK having never heard of them before, but i was not in the least bit disapointed. everything about it seems to project a heirloom quality. the service was great too! thanks. Jonathan Clare - Liverpool
lovely quality - but not really what I needed I wanted a replacement for a moleskine that was better quality. The quality is good, but the paper thinner than a moleskine sketch book,even tho description says suitable for sketching. I got 2 journals with cream paper - but the creamy colour was significantly different the black one was much paler -
